The Fender Jazz Bass V, as an American Standard version, was built from 1998 to 2000, then from 2008 to 2016. The American Standard name was dropped in 2017 to be replaced by the American Professional line. Despite being listed in catalogs as the “Jazz Bass V”, the “V” does not appear on the headstock logo of this instrument.

Here we have a fairly rare bird – the Guild X79 Skyhawk in white, produced in Westerly Rhode Island from 1981 to 1986, this one dating to 1984. The construction of this model is simple – the body and set neck are Mahogany, with an un-bound, 24-fret Ebony fingerboard. Those last few frets were very rare at the time!
Reflecting, 2006 was a very good year for instruments like this Fender 60th Anniversary Precision Bass – delivering slight improvements on a winning formula. Many of the 2006 Fenders we’ve seen from this year have been quite good. The Fender Precision Bass has been one of the most influential instrument designs, with an impact far beyond simply playing the instrument.
Built from 1981 to 1982, Fender Bullet Standard and Deluxe models were designed by John Page and built at the Fullerton plant as replacements for the Mustang and Duo-Sonic. This Fender Bullet Standard dates to 1981 at Fullerton, California. It’s in overall good condition with finish wear and patina expected from a 41 year old guitar.

The 1970’s Fender Telecaster Custom was a significant departure from the 1960’s Custom, which had basically been a stock model with a bound body. In contrast, the Telecaster Custom introduced in 1972 and built until 1979 introduced the head-end “Bullet” truss rod adjuster, the three-bolt MicroTilt neck angle adjuster, and a huge change for Fender – the Wide-Range Humbucker designed by Seth Lover.
